I’m reading through papers, books and reports related to queerness, the environment, and occasionally other topics. As I read, I’m taking notes so I can refer back to my old readings and remember their key points more easily. Why not post my notes here, so you can all learn with me?
The bulk of the article will be a summary of the reading, and will then end with my thoughts. Square brackets throughout the summary indicate comments from me.

I finished Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg this morning and I’m going to have a lot to say about it, its themes, and its author over the coming weeks, months, and rest of my life.

I started reading The Logic of Misogynyby Kate Manne in March. Early in the book, she mentioned she wouldn’t be covering transmisogyny as she felt it would best be left to others. That, in turn, got me thinking more seriously about the underlying logic of transmisogyny; it had been in the back of my mind for a while, and Manne’s comments brought it to the fore. I decided that when I finished the book, which I did in mid-July, I’d collect my thoughts on the matter and write about it. This is that piece.
Tools have been cropping up that claim to be able to expose the use of generative AI (genAI) in a given piece of writing. Around the same time, there have been accounts of people being accused of using genAI when they haven’t.
The phrase “kill them with kindness” has never sat right with me. It feels a lot like “they go low, you go high” and allows the asshole in question to get away with being a prick. However, there have been times when I noticed this tactic work. Some of the discussions in Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny have had me thinking about this again, as women are so often told to do this in response to men.
